Just checking my July 4th playlist...I'd like to add a few of my favorites to your 'overlooked/absent' list: An American Dream (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), "Surfin' USA" (Beach Boys), "This Land is Your Land" (Peter, Paul, and Mary), "In America" (Charlie Daniels Band), "Kids in America" (Kim Wilde), "Calling America" (E.L.O.), "Back in the U.S.A." (Chuck Berry), R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. (John Mellencamp), and a few country ones: "American Child" (Phil Vassar), "Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagles Fly" (Aaron Tippin), and "Fast Cars and Freedom" (Rascal Flatts). Great read today...Happy Independence Day!

All the songs you list are American classics that well deserve to be on the short list! Thanks for the additions, Randall.
